As tall as ....

Whilst in the lift going up the Eiffel Tower

Neo - "We are as tall as the lamp posts"
Daddy - "Yep, we are"
Neo - "We are as tall as the trees"
Daddy - "Yep, we are"
Neo - "We are as tall as the buildings"
Daddy - "Yep, we are"
Neo - "We are taller than the buildings now"
Daddy - "Yep, we are taller than all the buildings"
Neo - "No, not all buildings"
Daddy - "Look around, we are the tallest thing around"
Neo - "The Burj Khalifa is taller ... "
Daddy - "I just meant the buildings in Paris"
Neo - "... The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world!"
